I have never blogged before. I guess I just never had much to say to people I dont know. I think it's scary to think that after i post this, it will be somehow accessible to anybody with an internet connection. Luckily though, others are spewing just as much information on the web as I am, and this massive, abundant amount of data prevents you from being especially noticed, unless you are something spectacular. but most of it goes unnoticed. It's like walking through times square during the day. you're there, you're being seen, but the memory of you is being held by others for no longer than 3 seconds. but once again, if you're especially attractive or hideous or eccentric in some way you will stand out for a little longer, until the next beautiful, ugly, weird, cool thing comes along.
So, it turns out I use technology more for satisfying my own curiousity than for academic purposes. Obviously, like everyone else, I use Technology for seeing what everyone is up to, and what people's plans are for the upcoming weekend, and checking out all their facebook pictures. Another thing I noticed about my technology log is the amount of time i spend on youtube looking up various types of music. Music in general, i spend hours a day researching and listening to music, and without technology my range of reach would be so much smaller. Other than the copious number of hours i spend on the interwebs, I also abuse other types of technology like my cellphone for texting (more than calling), my microwave for heating up my ramen noodles, my alarm clock to get me out of bed in the AM, and my speakers to blast dubstep music for everyone on the block to hear. Technology is all around us, and it includes more than just electric appliances. However the biggest technological time eater I use is the #1 social networking site: Facebook. But I know people who use this tool to no end, signing on the moment they wake up and not signing off until the wee hours of the night. Crazy.
